How to Find Cheap Flights
5 rules that actually work
- Be flexible: shifting by 1-2 days often drops prices.
- Check nearby airports (especially for big cities).
- Mid-week flights tend to price better than weekends.
- Watch baggage fees - cheap fares can get expensive.
- If you see a great price, don’t “sleep on it.” Good deals vanish.
Mistake fares
- They’re rare but real: pricing glitches or fast sales.
- Book first, ask questions later (within airline rules).
- Don’t call the airline immediately after booking.
